KC Home Optical – Things to know about Computer Glasses

With so many of us now using computers on a daily basis whether it be at work, home or school, the strain on our eyes is becoming more difficult to manage without the help from a pair of spectacles.

Computer glasses may be the answer for close work. The advantage of a computer lens is it’s ability to focus on two separate focal lengths. One length is set for the computer and the other for reading. Your Optical Dispenser call these lenses Office Lenses or Interview lenses when describing the ‘type’ of lens. The name types will vary depending on the optical store and the lens supplier they use.

One advantage of computer spectacles is being able to work at the computer and read your documents without changing glasses. You won’t have to pull them down your nose and look over the top either!

As they are designed specifically for closer vision so it is advised to take them off when walking around however other lens designs are available if you also require glasses for distance vision.

With so many fashion frames to chose from today your computer glasses can be a very classy way to show off your unique style. So why not have a bit of fun with a new pair of computer glasses and update your fashion look today.

At KC Home Optical we take the time to listen to your needs, offer friendly advice and are here to help you with your spectacle choice. Flexible appointment times are available 7 days a week and all you need to bring along is a copy of your prescription from your local Optometrist or Ophthalmologist.

We look forward to being of service to you very soon.

Fashion Frames for Ladies, Men and Children

Confused about Choosing New Fashion Frames?

With 2017 now upon us have you started looking for a new pair of spectacles? Or perhaps you’ve grown tired of your old pair and want to update your look?

We understand that when you walk into an optical store it can be daunting to have so many spectacle frames to chose from. By having a bit of knowledge we hope to help turn your buying experience into a bit of fun too!

Much like our feet, our faces suit a particular spectacle frame size but also a certain frame shape. This is why there are so many frames to choose from in optical stores. We also take into consideration current fashion styles (we look to include stock that is “On Trend”) you may also have preferences for plastic, metal or rimless frames.

A lot of careful consideration goes into the range of frames you see on our shelves!

Below is a diagram of different face shapes. Knowing your face shape goes a long way in understanding the right frame shape for you.

For example you wouldn’t choose a square frame for a square face or a round frame for a round face. We try to balance your features to make you look more like an ‘Oval’. So a square face would look better in a frame with rounded edges and a round face looks better when using a square edged frame. Finding a frame that follows your eyebrow line will also help balance out the ‘symmetry’ of your features.

Of course if you have a certain frame style in mind and like to make your own selection we are very happy for you to choose your own!

As most clients usually purchase glasses every couple of years we endeavour to have you leave our store knowing you have had the best possible care and attention.

Why not let KC Home Optical help you with your next prescription glasses or sunglasses.

Warm regards, Kerry and Ged
